I'm trying to restore from the holding disk, after I mounted the directory
from the backup server. I use the following command:
dd if=/a/20010515/volvo._dev_dsk-c0t0d0s7.0 bs=32k skip=1 | ufsrestore -ifv
-
After entering the command, the ufsrestore runs fine for a while

Can anyone
advise mewhy Amanda is failing after running out of tape? The
config file tells it that it should use 4 tapes, so it should calculate how much
data should back up to fit on those 4 tapes but yet it uses all 4 tapes then
looks for a 5th one!
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH
But why exited Amanda by using the commands
amrestore -p /dev/nst0 gretel | tar -xvf - ./usr/local/sbin/exec or
amrestore -p /dev/nst0 | tar -xvf - ./usr/local/sbin/exec
after searching the first dump on tape?
In the first case Amanda should search in all gretel-dumps,
in the second case

As I remember, in earlier Amanda-versions this was the normal
behaviour, and it's described in the manpages!
What ancient version do you use? man amrestore (2.4.2p2) says:
I am using 2.4.2p2; i've told it in my email before.

Hi,
sorry, i have no time to describe the complete procedure now, but
this topic comes up every few weeks at this list, so please have
a look at the archiv of the mailinglist.
you can find it at www.amanda.org.
there you will find even more ifo's about configuring
and running amanda.

But what about the following text given by man amrestore?
If diskname is not specified, all backups on the tape for
the previous hostname are candidates. ...
...
This describes the behaviour I've told before, or not?
Yes, but note that it says candidates, not that they will be
I am currently backing up Windows clients using the Amanda index
server, a Sun Ultra 250 named rockfirm. I want to see if I get a
performance gain by offloading the smbclient stuff to rocksolid, a
4-way Ultra 450. (I use 'comp-user-tar', so there is some compression
involved).
Can I simply
It seems that backup/dumpcycle bookkeeping would be OK, but how about
recovery? Will I be able to recover files this way?
Almost. Amrecover also looks in the log.MMDD.NN files, so you'll
need to run them through sed or whatever to change the name in there

The configuration looks basically correct. The fact that the report says

What version of Amanda?

can't work out why this is happening! The reports are all identical,

all other partitions on that host. When I run amdump again I get the same

Since you mentioned ufsrestore, are you running on Solaris? I have a
vague memory from quite a while ago about this problem and
Here's what I found in a letter from Aug-1999:
What OS? If it's Solaris, this is a known ufsrestore bug I've reported
and Sun has ignored.
In any case, some (buggy) restore programs just seem to get confused when
reading from a pipe. I looked through the old E-mail I have and didn't
